Please avoid purchasing your transport speedboat journey with Viator. The directions are wrong (map indicated to get boat in centre of Malé) the speedboats are at the airport. Once we got on board we were forced to pay for our tickets again or get off the boat. Despite showing Icom crew our clearly bought & paid for tickets there was a breakdown of communication between Viator & Icom. After paying twice for the same service, we complained to Viator who dismissed our claims. We had to visit the Icom office to get our proof of payment receipt and even then it took several attempts to get a refund. I would strongly suggest booking any transfers via your hotel or Icom directly and dont waste your time with a 3rd party like this.

Hi ma'am, Thank you for your feedback.
We have a very straightforward check-in process on Viator and all bookings require a simple check-in process, to receive the valid booking voucher with detailed instructions.
In this case, the check-in was not completed from your end, and consequently your booking didn't push through, so our team was unable to identify the booking at the time.
Furthermore, we also operate from both Malé Airport Jetty and Jetty No. 5, and these details are clearly shared in the booking confirmation.
We feel really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you ma'am. But the instructions and the process was very straightforward and full transparent from our end.
We always do our best to assist our guests. We kindly request all guests to carefully follow the provided instructions to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

What a mess, despite having tickets, we were not on the list
The girl overseeing was a joke - and I mean a joke, rather than deal with us, she was much more interested in trying to get extra money if those without tickets
Got on, but had to fight our way
Have got to get back yet - god help us

Booking online provided confidence that guaranteed a space on various ferry services that operate on the route

What a fabulous day out we all had. Even though there were no whale sharks about we still managed to swim with real big sharks 😜
Then snorkeling around the wreck was fantastic and lunch on the sandbar was delicious.
I can highly recommend Viator the crew on the boat were terrific capturing every moment on film for us all individually.
Great Day Out 👍

Well, it was just a transfer, so there is not much to tell!
But the ticket arrangement was perfect!
Adviseble to do.

They used it as a public ferry. I thought it was just for guests. I dont know it was like this or not

J'ai réservé le traversé entre aéroport malé et Maafushi, le point de départ est mal indiqué, sur Google maps, le nom de bateau n'est pas marqué nom plus. Vous imaginez le galère, angois.

Wir haben einen Transfer von Male Airport zur Insel Maafushi gebucht. 2 Erwachsene und ein 4-Jährige Kind. Wir wussten nicht die reele Preise und haben der Transfer nur hin - für 115,89 Euro gebucht. Das erste.
Das zweite ist das mann die Buchung nicht annulieren kann.
Dann haben wir die Preise erfahren und hat uns sehr überrascht. Das ist doppelt zu viel. Transfer kann man finden in Flughafen. 25 Euro pro Erwachsene und Hälfte fürs Kind, und so 65 Euro.
Diese Buchung war ehrlich gesagt, ein Diebstahl.
Ich empfehle diese Anbieter gar nicht.
Suchen sie woanders aber nicht hier.
